Abstract

With all the advantages of additive manufacturing, it is possible to obtain a prosthesis that can be more efficient and comfortable than a classic one. In this case, it is possible to use more materials in making the leg prosthesis which by using soft material that can be printed can provide a higher degree of comfort. In the development of the prosthesis were used state of the art techniques and instruments: laser scanning, revere engineering, 3D printing TRIZ.
